lyrics
She's seventeen, a libertine, if only
I promised her I'd call her from inside
She's plasticine, a rash to me and she owns me
Whoever said that's afraid of the facts and the lies
An odyssey from you to me, an omen
A magic so black it cracks and explodes in your eyes
"Break on through," a brave man said, if only
I prefer the words of a shaman: "I'm alive"
I'm alive, institutionalised
So you think it makes you right
If you leap into the fight with a hard-on
Man it only proves that you're asking
To get fucked from behind
And if you think they're trying to cheat you now
When all they want are the smart bonds
Ah man you'd be a sucker to join 'em
When the guns are fired
Searing, driving post-punk with shoegaze's enormous wall of sound and garage-punk's catchy hooks from A Very Special Episode. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 4, 2023
California’s Fawns of Love write heavenly pop songs surrounded by cloudlike layers of synth and tied up in silvery guitar lines. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 2, 2019
Castlebeat’s “VHS” offsets bright, jangly songs with smoky, lo-fi production, giving their pie-eyed melodies a sense of mystery. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2018
Continuing the rock tradition of talking about awkward, intimate minutiae and nerdy obsessions via mammoth guitar lines. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 12, 2017
